Development of Baseline Food Web Models for the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas

Create a baseline food web model for the Chukchi ecosystem, and review food web literature on the Beaufort ecosystem, including data on production, benthos, fish, and upper trophic levels (mammals and birds), for future ecosystem-based management efforts and for predicting impacts of disturbances or climate variability on ecosystem structure and function.
